Report: Apple will introduce a new iPhone SE with A15, 5G in early 2022 - Ars Technica

Multiple recent reports from Apple's supply chain have indicated that a new, greatly upgraded iPhone SE is on the way.

But the new SE will have what will be the most recent iPhone system-on-a-chip, the A15, which is expected to debut with Apple's new flagship phones this fall.

Otherwise, the midrange phone (which also happens to be Apple's cheapest at present) will closely resemble the current iPhone SE, including the 4.7-inch LCD screen.

But new life for the iPhone SE reportedly means death for another of Apple's phone models: the iPhone mini, which was introduced as part of the iPhone 12 lineup just last year.

We've already seen evidence that the iPhone 12 mini did not sell well, compared to the rest of Apple's lineup.

In all likelihood, Apple will sell an iPhone 13 mini later this year, but the Nikkei report says Apple probably won't offer a mini model in the 2022 flagship lineup.
